[ANN] SLING | Fully Working DECENTRALIZED MARKET in Wallet | SLING MARKET LIVE

[TwoCoins1Purse]

A fully working decentralized marketplace!? This is great!!

To me, the market to me appears to be more of a proof of concept than a fully functional service. I think with future development it can become an ebay/amazon type of interface but for now maybe it should strive for a 'craigslist' feel (which still works amazingly well).

Additionally, since using this market requires purchasing btc and then converting them to sling, perhaps if its not too hard there could be an in-wallet exchange. I believe this would help consolidate the "sling experience". Perhaps maybe even have it function like a cashier/store where rather than converting an specific amount of btc to sling a person can buy 'chunks' of sling, ie: 0.1 btc = x sling, 0.25 btc = xx sling, 0.5 btc = xxxx sling, etc?

Finally, has anybody bought anything yet???
If not, who wants to make history with me? This could be another chance to be that guy who bought a pizza for like 10,000  btc except this time its with sling. It doesn't have to be anything expensive and personally I would prefer it to be something super cheap (like less than $5) especially with the price of sling as low as it is. So how bout it?

I admire your enthousiasm. This market really is something unique.

XILK - you can only pronounce it as Silk.
Why the rebrand ideas though?

I think he (they?) wanted to get away from the SilkRoad / Slingroad similarity.

So I don't think XILK "silk" would be that in favor also.

Price should remain above 10k, at this point price is so ridiculous.
Coin with new FULLY WORKING TECH and 800k total coins should be above atleast 70k not 6k!!!!     
Fkin hilarious!!!

[jadefalke]

it will recover, will take a bit, but it will do

whats up with all the sex and adult stuff in the market?, i guess there is a lot of sexual items among the BCT altcoin community.

If there is going to be categories,  I suggested that some type of keyword filter and/or some type of spam filter be used to sort "things" into categories. 

So.. maybe soon all the sex stuff can get filtered into the porn/sex categories.

I'm guessing this could be handled client side - when the wallet receives the listings?

[DG.Slayer]

Hopefully get some time to work on catagories this weekend and will look into making keyword filters as suggested.

Been really busy irl otherwise I would of put them in earlier.

I have set up some buy orders, waiting to see them filled.
Dev still here, so it may be worth.
Whats the future development plan?, i have read about a rebrand. Am i correct?.
Thanks

Yes, that's correct.

Be careful. I heard the whales have left here already and are moving onto other coins like LTC and Viral and the new ico for CIRC.

Ya the whales apparently have left this coin but that doesn't mean that this coin won't grow steady with an active developer behind it and a strong community It just means that it might take a little longer but I'm okay with waiting for a coin to naturally grow in price than get pumped and dumped and never recover Cheers

That would be great!  I wish I could help work on it, but still studying programming

Ive been thinking about the possible rebrand.
As well as future development possibilities

The more I think about it, the more I feel this coin should take in the direction of craigslist.
Its a very simple interface, already very recognized, and most importantly:

It succeeds at maintaining a neutral image while containing  both common goods and illicit services

This I believe is a key factor that if followed can help drive adoption/demand of sling.
Because realistically, the only markets that are in need of decentralization are those that are at risk of seizure/shutdown, ie: dark markets.
And it is only after a decentralized market proves why decentralization is useful that the mainstream would follow suit.
And a name like craigslist can also psychologically help ease this transition.


What do you guys think of the name DansList (symbol "LIST" )?
Decentralized Autonomous Network.
Or really (anything)list.
I just like the LIST symbol and its fitting associations.

Even better is that the infrastructure for the whole concept is pretty much already there.
I mean the hard part of developing the underlying technology is already done.
Just add more categories and subcategories.
The encrypted messaging feature compliments 'listings' perfectly.

[rahmad2nd]

when will release rebrand name... ??

Good points that you bring up, plus if we get the categories and filtering integrated
- it seems like a similar name would go with the "feel" of it.
The only problem I see with just a (prefix)LIST name is people might not identify it as a coin right away.

It succeeds at maintaining a neutral image while containing  both common goods and illicit services

I think that is the key to this.  

ListCoin


I personally don't see what is so bad with SYN (Sling, your network)..
People don't immediately think of "sinning" because of the spelling.
Plus it keeps kind of the intention of crypto currencies in general, (being the people's network, coin)

[TwoCoins1Purse]

The only problem I see with just a (prefix)LIST name is people might not identify it as a coin right away.

Personally, I see what you mean but I feel as though that shouldn't be much of a concern.
I feel like the marketing/branding efforts should be focused on the primary defining feature: the marketplace

Thus it should be seen as more of a marketplace with its own coin as opposed to a coin with its own marketplace.

The sling 'coin' itself is nothing innovative, but obviously the market feature is.
Sling is bleeding edge and has the advantage of being first in the 'decentralized market' market.
As such, I think sling should be looking to capture as much marketshare as possible before others have the opportunity to copy its underlying technology.

And I feel the best way to do so again is to keep the focus on the marketplace and getting people to use the market which indirectly gets them to use the coin

Yes, that does sound good.

Maybe something more friendly like...

Just trying to come up with more names.

I guess Danslist would be simplest in terms of what you describe.
